EPISODE 3: 2026
In this podcast, we meet dancers Lorena Olguín and Mirte Bogaert, who reflect on their encounter with the exhibitions by Shwan Dler Qaradaki and Mona Tahani at Kunsthall 3,14. Through movement, improvisation, and embodied presence, they explore how art can be experienced and understood through the body. The conversation moves between memory, vulnerability, resistance, and belonging, and between what can be expressed in words and what can only be experienced through movement.

EPISODE 2: 2026
Colonization is not merely a thing of the past. In this podcast, Dan Brown Brønlund and Frans Jacobi, one Greenlandic artist and one Danish artist, explore how colonial structures and experiences continue to shape the present—both in art and in life. Through a personal and honest conversation, they reflect on legacy, responsibility, identity, and the potential for new relationships. The conversation builds upon the exhibition Memory in Motion and the seminar at Kunsthall 3,14—a collaboration with the University of Bergen. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

EPISODE 10: 2025
What happens when art confronts the ecological paradoxes of our time?
In this episode, we explore decoupling, speculative futures, and material storytelling, inspired by Fanja Bouts’ exhibition at Kunsthall 3,14. Together with Jannecke Knudsen Heien, we discuss how art can both critique unsustainable systems and imagine alternatives, often in dialogue with research and policy. Both artists share a strong interest in temporal imaginaries. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
EPISODE 9: 2025
How do we encounter art?
By attuning to the voice, language can open into something beyond meaning, a space where its energy and resonance can be felt. In this episode, Gitte Sætre speaks with writer Gunnar Wærness about the themes explored in Samuel Brzeski’s exhibition Infernal Monologue at Kunsthall 3,14. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
EPISODE 8: 2025
A recorded conversation on language, art, and existence, set within Samuel Brzeski’s exhibition Infernal Monologue at Kunsthall 3,14 (2025). With Idun Vik and “10 kilos of clay” as guests, the discussion explores what happens when linguistic structures begin to dissolve, and how language shapes our experience of reality. The aim was to deepen the exhibition’s themes, focusing on how sound and visual elements evoke mood, affect, and sensory impressions. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
